Combination Switch Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Nissan Quest. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

SYSTEM CHECK

Referring to table below, check to which system the malfunctioning switch belongs.

SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONING TABLE

System 1	System 2	System 3	System 4	System 5
-	FR WASHER	FR WIPER LO	TURN LH	TURN RH
FR WIPER HI	-	FR WIPER INT	PASSING	HEAD LAMP1
INT VOLUME 1	RR WASHER	-	HEAD LAMP2	HI BEAM
RR WIPER INT	INT VOLUME 3	AUTO LIGHT	-	TAIL LAMP
INT VOLUME 2	RR WIPER ON	-	FR FOG	-

: GO TO 2.

SYSTEM CHECK
With CONSULT-II

CAUTION: If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carries out CAN communication.
1. Connect CONSULT-II, and select "COMB SW" on "SELECT TEST ITEM" screen.
2. Select "DATA MONITOR".

3. Select "START" and confirm that other switches in malfunctioning system operate normally.
  Example: When auto light switch is malfunctioning, confirm that "FRONT WIPER LOW" and "FRONT WIPER INT" in System 3, to which the auto light switch belongs, turn ON-OFF normally.
Without CONSULT-II

Operate combination switch and confirm that other switches in malfunctioning system operate normally. Example: When auto light switch is malfunctioning, confirm that "FRONT WIPER LOW" and "FRONT WIPER INT" in System 3, to which the auto light switch belongs, operate normally.

Check results
- Other switches in malfunctioning system operate normally. Replace lighting switch or wiper switch.
- Other switches in malfunctioning system do not operate normally. GO TO 3.
HARNESS INSPECTION
1. Disconnect BCM and combination switch connectors.
2. Check for continuity between BCM harness connector of the suspect system and the corresponding combination switch connector terminals.

OK or NG
- OK: GO TO 4.
- NG: Check harness between BCM and combination switch for open or short circuit.
BCM OUTPUT TERMINAL INSPECTION
1. Turn lighting switch and wiper switch to OFF.
2. Set wiper dial to position 4.
3. Connect BCM and combination switch connectors, and check BCM output terminal voltage waveform of suspect malfunctioning system.

OK or NG
- OK: Open circuit in combination switch, GO TO 5.
- NG: Replace BCM. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF BCM ".
